  • The PlayStation VR2 is incredible, with two OLED Screens, 120hz support and haptic feedback. But is it worth buying for the PS5? This is my PSVR 2 review!

      I've felt conflicted with it since launch. I loved the PSVR1 at the time with titles like PSVRWorld's 'Ocean Descent'(Shark dive was incredible), Astro Bot Rescue Mission, Moss, Resident Evil 7 etc, but the PSVR2's tethered cable just feels extremely dated at this point, cumbersome, it's that barrier that breaks immersion and ruins Stand-up VR.
      Plus, i'm not a fan of Sony deciding to opt for a high motion persistence OLED display. You basically trade motion clarity for brightness with the VR brightness slider, which creates more head movement blur. Head movement blur wont exist on Quest 3 because of it's 1ms motion persistence(zero motion blur) @100nits+ brightness. At best, VR2 gets down to 2ms @only 60 nits which makes the image look unrealistically dim and bleak, but it's the only way to get good motion. The further you raise the brightness slider, the more head movement motion blur you get.
      More minor complains would be the PSVR2's small sweet spot, chunky front visor, cumbersome bulky Ring'd controllers and that it's not as comfortable as PSVR1, specifically around the nose area which feels a bit front-heavy and harsh after 20 minutes.
      On the flip side, Resident Evil: Village is absolutely incredible! Once you make it to Castle D it will have your jaw hitting the floor. It's worth the price of admission alone, plus Resident Evil 4: VR Mode is on the way and hopefully an AstroBot sequel. Also looking forward to the PlayStation Airpods, so i can finally ditch those wired dangly buds which detroys PSVR2's aesthetic. :P

      @TedwardsTube Před rokem +2

      I’m playing RE8 too. Unlike you, I was not at all disappointed with the flat version. I loved it and played it about 6 times, repeating new game + until I had infinite ammo unlocked for my favorite guns (especially the Stake magnum), so I was really looking forward to importing that save, and very upset that they’re not allowing that. I’m sure they have some lame excuse but they absolutely could have done that, and chose not to. I can imagine their actual reason was, they want to give us proper incentive to replay the full game multiple more times, and I can’t say that doesn’t make sense I suppose.

      @TedwardsTube Před rokem +3

      I wish the developers had hired someone who understood better how stereoscopy works. There are many times it seems so obvious they didn’t. For example when looking at lots of things in the environment with text, a floating popup appears for you to read. Problem is, it’s very often in the wrong place in the z-axis (depth / distance) in respect to other objects that you also see, and this disparity not only makes it hard to read these things (closing one eye solves the problem) but also hurts your eyes and can contribute to getting a headache, not to mention contributing to the already big problem of people unaware of why it hurts to look at being turned off from 3D / VR.

    It's great they finally made the screen size more adjustable, I liked watching a few movies/youtube videos on the first vr and the problem was always that the screen was either too close to your face so it felt like sitting in the first row in a movie theater or too far away where the image moves with your head.

  • @the_omg3242
    @the_omg3242 Před rokem +6

    On the subject of motion sickness, you can train yourself not to get it fairly easily. What I've done with friends is give them a motion sickness pill like Gravol before trying it the first time. This will suppress motion sickness before you start to feel bad. Then if they feel any sickness while playing, stop and do something else before it gets uncomfortable.
    If you do that for your first 2 sessions, then on the 3rd session, don't bother with the motion sickness pill, but still stop if you feel uncomfortable. You'll very quickly get to where you're not bothered at all since your brain will get used to the mismatch between what it's seeing and what it's feeling.

      With each new revision of a PS, I wonder how much better things can get. I would assume at some point the controllers will have tactile functions so you can feel everything your eyes experience. Along with that will be a type of upper body glove that will give you the same experience, so you'll feel on your chest where your character gets shot, of course without the pain. The ultimate will be a kill option. If you die in the game, you die! Of course that won't be for the faint of heart to play, but it would be an adrenaline rush for those with the gonads, and yeah, I don't have them!

I played standing up and it felt like I was walking behind him as he went through the game. Because everything is pitch black inside the headset and all I could see was the game on a huge cinema screen it turned the atmosphere up another level. It was an amazing experience.

    Honestly, IF it was backwards-compatible, it would be a day-1 must-buy.
    For now, it's a very nice upgrade to Gran Turismo Sport's VR mode regardless of no design changes (including with the same VR-specific missing data, oddly) & a really nice baseline experience for people who have never experienced virtual reality outright. Saying they've "added" a virtual showroom in Gran Turismo isn't accurate, for example, as it already existed in GT Sport (albeit the VR replay is a new feature).
    Once the library comes to even a fraction of the PSVR1 or any other VR headset, notably including the ubiquitous experiences like CZcams 360 videos & cross-VR-platform titles or even a single flight-sim game for testing (baffling to not have one at launch), it will absolutely be "worth buying," I believe.

    IMPORTANT: There is a very important lesson to be learned about motion sickness. You need to ACCLIMATE into vr sometimes and get your vr legs. I have been playing VR for 6 years on PC. People hop right into high intensity games and sometimes that is the worst thing you can do. Start slow. Play simpler games where you don't move much if at all, like Space Pirate Trainer. You can feel a bit off the first few times so take your time. Maybe play 10 or 15 and stop and get out to take a break. You can acclimate to it, it is just a mind f*k sometimes.

    @djjjjj Před rokem +3

    Psvr2 is a great piece of kit. My advice is to get GT7 and Horizon if you can afford it. Horizon comes in a bundle. The reason I say get both games is because...Horizon is great... but it's the type of game you'll only want to play for an hour or so at a time. There's lots of climbing and the combat parts require some effort. Nothing too gruelling or anything, but you'll want to take breaks and space it out over a few days. So having something like GT7 which you can just sit down and play is a good accompaniment, plus it's amazing.

  • @julianvictorian955
    @julianvictorian955 Před rokem +7

    As someone who is intrigued by the technology and heightening the immersion of games, Sony deserve great credit for this. Both Resident Evil Village and GT7 are standouts as they are fully fledged games rather than an "on-rails" experience and this is what needs to continue if they are to convince potential buyers that this isn't treated as niche.
    Personally, I have never tried VR and would love to check if this is an experience I would enjoy before buying as well (I wish there were sample units in somewhere like GAME where you could book a slot to test??). Oddly, as I've got older I have become more prone to sea-sickness and although not exactly the same need to be sure that I would feel continued discomfort!

      @SentinelGames yesss I understand what you are saying, yes vr looks fantastic, but this is from people who know what to expect of VR and the current state of the technology. When someone who has never used VR sees these statements and puts the headset on they are immediately upset and disappointed, we need to manage expectations on where the tech is in VR as it stands today, pixelation will not go away in VR until we get 8k resolution per eye, that is 7680×4320 and that's per eye. When you compare that to psvr2 at 2000×2040 per eye we start to see how image quality still suffers. I love virtual reality but let us not hype people into thinking the quality of the image is in anyway comparable to flat 4k gaming in terms of image quality, its the 3d depth perception that's the wow factor

Kayak VR is gorgeous, yet still way more of a 'workout' than I expected. My arms got tired fairly quick. But the most flat-out fun I've had yet is Pistol Whip. What a crazy-fun game.

    I have to correct you on one point. PSVR2 does not “support 4K visuals”. It has a single 4K screen, but since the image needs to be in 3D (stereoscopic) it has to put two nearly identical images side-by-side on that screen, so the image(s) i.e. resolution is approximately halved - about 2K. Sony rather deliberately misled people on this point, and it is being widely misinterpreted.

      But people see the marketing of 4k HDR OLED and expected it to approach a TVs quality, which it just doesn't. So many are disappointed.

But if that doesn’t help then you might have gotten a faulty unit or maybe vr just isn’t for you like many others. The point of vr isn’t to look life like it’s to put you in the game and interact with it, the immersion is supposed to distract from the visuals for the most part, but it shouldn’t look blurry at best it should look 1440p but a consistent fps which is good for vr as it reduces motion sickness.
